REVOLVING SHOW-CASE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 398,664, dated February 26. 1889.

Application filed April 14, 1888. Serial No. 270,663. (No modeLl To all 1117107 it may 007L067'7L.

the said top and bottom pivot f on the showcitizen oi the'United States, residing at Balti- 5 more, in the State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Re- 'volving Show-Cases, of which the following is a specification.

)lyinvcntion relates to an improvement in show-cases, which illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a trout view of the case. Fig. 2 is a rear view showing the display-stand with one door or back and partly turned. Fig. 3 is a (:rosssection on the line 3 3, showing the displa v-stand in the same position it has in Fig. 2. Fig. t is a rear view of the show-case, showing two doors. Fig. 5 is a side view of the case, showing one of the two doors partly open and one of the two sections of the dis play-stand attached to each door. Fig. 6 is a horizontal cross-section on the line 6 6, showing one action of the displavstand open and one closed.

The glass front A of the show-case is semieylindrical. The base I) and the top 0 are halfeircular at the front (I, and diametricalh" straight across at the back e. Both the base and top have at the straight back a pivot, f, at the center and the case is open at the back. i

The. display-stand G consists of shelves recedin from the bottom upward and back, like steps, and is half-circular in front, and hasa flat door or back, 71, which is suspended by pended from the case. The display-stand and door or back may be in one piece or structure, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3,01 may be in two sections, G G, each separately movable and both sussame pivots, as shown in Each door or back has a other suitable fastening, and which open outward the Figs. t, 5, and 6. spring-bolt, "1', or may have drawers 7;, through the back, and when in occupy Space back of and below the shelves G.

By swinging the display-stand on thei r pivot f the shelves are turned out-ward away from the in elosin g-ease A, and access is thereby had to them. l-Iaving described my inventitm, I claim The combination, in a showcase, of an in closin g-easinghavin g a semi-cylindrical transparent front, and a display-stand provided with a series of semi-cylindrical step-like shelves in front, and a flat door or back, and recesses having drawers at the rear, the display-stand being pivoted within the casing, as described,wherebyit maybe turned to insert the articles to be displayed, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I a liix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
